American Pie Reviews

This, and its sequels and rip-offs, have aged POORLY. It's a 1 and a half-hour-long pop-punk music video filled with '90s teen white male caricatures. All it is is just a bunch of dickheads trying to get laid, THAT'S IT.

As a whole, I think this is on par with John Hughes' teen films. The laughs are constant and it's a believable friendship between all the characters. I especially love Eugene Levy and Seann William Scott's performances.

Just another sexist and homophobic piece, and a VERY accurate view on the young high school male sex life: trying to score with the "un-giving" and "easy to persuade" girl and not making it mean anything, but sex and social hierarchy. A lot of the movie was terribly awkward, embarrassing, very crude ... but at least I laughed once or twice. And at least the movie changed from "sex is the most important thing" to "sex pretty much sucks and doesn't really matter."

When I first decided to view this film, I didn't expect much. I'd heard it had a big impact on the 'coming of age' genre and the 90's, but I didn't think it would appeal to me the same way it did to others, boy was I wrong. American Pie is a hilarious comedy with a great cast of characters, each with their own over the top personality. Watching these teenagers land themselves in some of the most awkward situations is where a lot of the humour builds in; its defiantly one of my favourite comedy movies of the 90's.

Occasionally uneven but full of laughs and heartwarming moments, American Pie treats sex with more honesty than most sex movies and is sure to please teens and adults alike with the film being remembered the most for popularizing the term MILF. The first slice of Pie is the most delicious one.
